Spirit Animal

Good grief this is a difficult one for me. I think at different times in our life we take on different spirit or totem animals. I think it's sometimes about what lessons we have to learn at the time. When you start seeing and/or dreaming about different animals it's a good sign it's time to sit up and take notice. There are hundreds of places online to look up spirit animals.

I've dreamed about horses, dogs, birds, etc. I don't know that I truly have a spirit or totem animal, but I do know that I have a strong affinity with dogs, and I used to be inseparable from my horse back when I was growing up in Iowa. All animals are important to me, and maybe that's why I became a vegetarian several years ago. When I started, it wasn't because of my love for animals, but because I had high cholesterol and wanted to try to lower it naturally without drugs. Gradually, it became more about the animals. I still have a hard time saying no to cheese and ice cream, and I usually don't say no. :)

Also, crows fascinate me. I know a lady who had a pet crow when she was younger. He talked, too.

I honestly don't know what else to say about spirit animals. I can't even think up a short story for that one. Tomorrow's prompt will be much easier!
